Up to 48% of your food preferences are guided by your genes

Your genes influence your appetite

FTO gene variations—aka the “fat gene”—can increase hunger and cravings for calorie-dense foods.

Carbs vs. fats—your DNA has a say

AMY1 helps some digest carbs better, while PPARγ variants favour fat metabolism

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the YOLO DNA Test work?

Our test requires a simple swab of the inner cheek. Our laboratories then analyse these cheek cells to give raw data, which is then processed through state-of-the-art software. This software translates your data as accurately and simply as possible, resulting in a tailored report with insights as unique as you.

What exactly will I learn from my DNA report?

Within your report, you’ll find a section explaining your digestion and the genes associated with this complex system, as well as sections explaining your immune system, the nutrients your body needs and doesn’t need, your metabolism, your body’s ability to handle stress, the best exercise according to your genes, why you sleep the way you do, and what stimulants to avoid (caffeine and alcohol).

Additionally, if you choose one of our female or male hormone packages, you’ll receive valuable insights into genetic factors affecting cardiovascular health, blood pressure, blood clotting, cholesterol levels, bone strength, and ageing. It also highlights the effects of chronic stress, alcohol intake, and dietary fats on your hormonal balance.

Is my data safe and private?

Your sample is identified only by a unique barcode, and no personal information is shared with our partner laboratories.

Our laboratories only share data with YOLO Health, and your physical DNA sample is destroyed after analysis

YOLO Health does not share your data, results, or reports with any third party unless you explicitly request it.

You can request a copy of your raw data at any time.

You can also request the deletion of your account and all associated data whenever you want.

How long does it take to get results?

Once we have received your sample, you can expect to receive your personalised report within 6 weeks. This timeframe is because of the comprehensive nature of our screening process. We appreciate your patience. Rest assured, you’ll be notified as soon as your report is ready.

What is included in the price?

The importance of preventative healthcare can’t be overstated, and the famous saying ‘you get what you pay for’ has never been more true.

Many chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, can be sidestepped through lifestyle choices and early interventions. It’s not just about avoiding illness, but also about living better, longer, and with greater vitality in every aspect of life. Our reports screen 800 000 SNPs and cover many markers that other ancestry-led DNA tests do not provide.

Our team behind the swab consists of highly qualified experts, including a registered nutritional therapist and a Nutrigenomic specialist, with decades worth of experience between them in the field of nutrition. These experts and state-of-the-art technologies diligently analyse and interpret your unique code to empower you with lifelong, invaluable health insights.
